Hosted WP can either manage your DNS for you or you can configure DNS yourself.
Firstly! What is DNS #
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System. It is a system that converts a human-readable domain name into an IP address that computers can understand. This allows users to access websites and other online resources by typing in easy-to-remember domain names instead of cumbersome numerical IP addresses. DNS is necessary for the proper operation of the internet, and all internet users rely on it every day.
To use your website with Hosted WP, you will need to be familiar with two important DNS records: The A Record and CNAME record. To change these records, you will need to log into your chosen DNS provider and update the records Below.
DNS Records #
| TYPE | NAME | IP ADDRESS / CNAME |
| A Record | domain.com.au | IP provided for setup |
| A Record | staging.domain.com.au | IP provided for setup |
| CNAME | www.domain.com.au | domain.com.au |
| CNAME | www.staging.domain.com.au | staging.domain.com.au |
We may also provide additional CNAME records to ensure your email flow is correct, These will be supplied during your setup for you to apply.
